Tune 520BT: Affordable Bluetooth headphones worth checking out"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>JBL\u00a0is an expert in the field of sound, therefore, when we want to buy speakers or headphones, it is one of the main firms that we look at, due to the good quality and performance that they usually offer.\u00a0In this case we are going to talk about headphones that are quite interesting due to the features that they integrate, obviously it is a mid-range model and it will have some negative points, but in general terms it delivers good results and a lot of comfort.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, we want to analyze in detail everything that it can offer us to really know if it is worth acquiring the\u00a0JBL Tune 520BT.<\/p>\n<h2>Design<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-200914

have a modern style that generates greater attraction<\/p>\n<p>We can say that the\u00a0BL Tune 520 BT\u00a0uses a classic design, although it is modern at the same time.\u00a0Perhaps this sounds a bit strange, but we mean that it integrates a variation of both, obviously the former prevails and that is why its style is more denoted.\u00a0These headphones have four different colors that give users variety, yes, not all stores offer them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165382\"

we like because it encloses more sound in the ears, however, it can also be a disadvantage because you will hardly hear if someone is talking to you, only if you have the volume very low.\u00a0The construction quality is acceptable\u00a0and\u00a0it uses good materials\u00a0, so it assures us that with due care they can last a long time.<\/p>\n<h3>Interesting functions<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start by talking about certain features that caught our attention because they provide certain advantages.\u00a0We are going to mention the most important ones, for example, hands-free calls, we know that it is something very common, but it is always appreciated that this option continues to be used.\u00a0The\u00a0JBL Tune 520BT Headphones\u00a0works via\u00a0Bluetooth 5.3\u00a0that offers us high-quality sound.<\/p>\n<p>It brings its cable to charge the headphones, which by the way have fast charging that provides a great benefit in case we do not have much time to charge them.\u00a0Obviously it has a built-in microphone, but we highlight the inclusion of\u00a0Voice Aware\u00a0that allows us to choose the amount of our own voice that we want to hear by controlling the amount of input that it will send to the headphones.<\/p>\n<p>It also offers us a multipoint connection that allows simultaneous pairing with two different audio devices, this offers us the possibility to switch from one device to the other without the need to constantly turn off the headset.\u00a0As you can see, they are headphones that through their functions improve the experience not only in terms of sound\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound quality and functions in general of the JBL Tune 520 BT<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to talk about the sound offered by the\u00a0JBL Tune 520BT\u00a0which, to be honest, seems good to us, and ensures that the audio is immersive and precise.\u00a0One of the main advantages is the JBL Pure Bass\u00a0technology\u00a0that is often used in concert halls for a better sound experience.\u00a0We notice deep and powerful basses that are maintained in any sound.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit is that we can customize our sound experience, this will be possible by downloading the free JBL Headphones application that is used to adapt the sound to our liking.\u00a0This is achieved by setting the equalizer correctly\u00a0.\u00a0We like that through voice prompts we can make setup easier.\u00a0Obtaining a rewarding experience.<\/p>\n<p>Battery life is very good, delivering up to 57 hours of battery life on a full charge.\u00a0This is obtained in approximately 2 hours (it works with a USB type C cable). It should be noted that with a time of 5 minutes you can enjoy 3 hours.\u00a0The battery issue is really the most positive.\u00a0It works with a voice system thanks to its compatibility with Siri\u00a0and\u00a0Hey Google\u00a0assistants\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the JBL Tune 520BT Headphones worth buying?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded wp-image-200915 size-full\" title=\"It offers good features that make it attractive for the quality it delivers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/39_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We must say that the\u00a0JBL Tune 520 BT\u00a0does not have advanced enhancement technologies, therefore, it remains in the mid-range.\u00a0However, for its price it seems like a good option, especially if you want an acceptable experience that has powerful sound, but without going beyond that.\u00a0The problem is that the price difference with the high-end models is already a lot, but so is the quality.<\/p>\n<p>So ending up being a good alternative, especially if you want to update your headphones or if you want them to be the first.\u00a0You already saw that they have certain characteristics that offer some advantages\u00a0.\u00a0We didn&#8217;t mention it in the design section, but they use lightweight materials along with soft pads that allow the headphones to be used for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0JBL Tune 520BT Headphones\u00a0also have a foldable design that makes it easy for us to carry them around.\u00a0We must mention that this series has already been released before, only that there will be slight changes because they are making updates.\u00a0But for price, you may be interested in the\u00a0JBL Tune 510BT\u00a0, which are also a good option, although we do notice slight differences in certain characteristics.<\/p>\n<h3>JBL Tune 520BT: Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p>PROS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design<\/li>\n<li>Audio quality<\/li>\n<li>Exclusive
